Wed, 18 Jun 2014 01:34:12 GMThttp://backend.userland.com/rssRSS.NET: http://www.rssdotnet.com/Grave: : "Soulless" to be reissued on vinyl on July 14, 2014 - preorder has started!On July 14, 2014, the third album by Swedish death metal act GRAVE, "Soulless", will finally be reissued on vinyl two decades after its original release. Current vocalist/guitarist Ola Lindgren comments:
<i>"Hey folks, it's time to unleash another classic from the GRAVE repertoire. 20 years ago we did an album called "Soulless" and it has been out of print for ages on vinyl. Actually, this is the first repress on LP since 1994, so to make it extra nice we also included a detailed interview with Jörgen and me telling the history of this record and mastered it especially for vinyl ensuring the best possible sound. If you wonder why the logo isn't orange anymore, well, we thought it was a bit ugly before, haha, and took the chance to edit it a bit. "Soulless" marked an album where GRAVE became groovier and more diverse than before and we're damn proud of it today and hope you all will enjoy this vinyl edition!"</i>
"Soulless (LP edition 2014)" features an uncoated cardboard sleeve just like the previous vinyl reissues of "Into The Grave" and "You'll Never See...", heavy printed innersleeve with lyrics/interview and special vinyl mastering by Patrick W. Engel / Temple Of Disharmony (Asphyx, Massacra, Darkthrone, etc.). See below for the exact vinyl colours and limitations:

Century Media RecordsCentury Media RecordsFri, 22 Jun 2012 02:56:03 GMTGrave: : Announce special 20th Anniversary concert for "Into The Grave" debut album; North American Tour Re-Cap; Commence working on new studio album; Switch Guitarists!Swedish old school Death Metal originals GRAVE, who recently signed a new worldwide deal with their initial home Century Media Records, have checked in after a long North American tour - alongside Blood Red Throne, Pathology and Gigan - with an update from their camp's activities, starting with a brief tour re-cap:
<i>"So back in dark, cold and rainy Sweden again after a successful North American tour. We had a great time and many great shows. Since we haven't headlined the US since 1996 we didn't know what to expect but I must say that we were pleasantly overwhelmed by the response from our fans. This gave us the kick in the nuts and the motivation to get back over there again in a near future. A huge special thanks to our kickass roadcrew: T-Wayne, T-Bone and The Colonel."</i>
Next up, GRAVE will be playing a very special Stockholm hometown show for the 20th Anniversary of the release of their "Into The Grave" debut album. The show takes place on November 12th at Kulturhuset in Stockholm / Sweden and will be supported by General Surgery (20th Anniversary of the "Necrology" debut EP) and also Vicious Art (last gig ever!). The band comments as follows:
<i>"Right now we're preparing for an epic night of old school madness. November 12th we will play a very
special Anniversary gig at Club Distortion/Kulturhuset here in Stockholm. The classic "Into the Grave" album will be run through from "Deformed" to "Banished to Live", plus another handful of classic tunes.
Support acts are the mighty Vicious Art and General Surgery. Be there or be square..."</i>
Next up, GRAVE will be busy working on their upcoming studio album effort, marking the 10th studio album in the band's history and can also announce a line-up change in their rhythm guitar department. But read it from GRAVE's Ola Lindgren himself:
<i>"The plans for our next studio album is also already in the works. We will start writing and arranging songs in November and enter the legendary Studio Soulless again in early January. We also have a very cool idea for a special bonus disc, more on this later. Stay tuned for video diaries and sneak peeks which will be updated all through the process. Album #10 is scheduled for release by Century Media Records before the summer 2012."
Last but not least in this small update we want to inform you that our guitarist Magnus Martinsson is no longer in the band. But don't worry ladies, we will keep goin'. Magnus has played with us since 2008 and did some epic tours/shows with us. We took this joint decision after going through plans for next year and we needed to address this within the band before we start the new album process. There aren't now and have never been any hard feelings between us and we wish him the best in any future endeavors. See Magnus statement below...
We've recruited Mika Lagreen (Facebreaker) for the Stockholm Anniversary gig and he should fit right in since he already handled the stage left axe on our latest European tour. He will of course also be with us through the new album process and upcoming shows/tours."</i>
Magnus Martinsson posted the following additional message about the amicable split:
<i>"Hello all you death metal heads!
I'd like to inform you that myself and the rest of the band have come to the mutual decision that I will no longer be a member and guitar player of Grave. People develop on and off the field, and sometimes in different directions, and I feel I can't fully commit to the bands upcoming and intense touring plans. So the time has come for me to pass the torch. No drama or bloodshed has occurred and I wish the guys all the best for the future.
It's been a great time since I joined Grave back in 2008; I have many amazing memories from our gigs, tours and travels together, and all amazing fans and friends out there. We've toured all over the world, toured together with great bands/guys like Nile, Misery Index, Belphegor, Krisiun and Vader, just to mention a few. It's been a blast!
But don't worry folks; I won't stop playing music. Check out my new band Overtorture. Alle ska döj!"</i>
Next to the mentioned North American tour, GRAVE have mercilessly toured all across Europe with acts like Misery Index or Obituary in the past year in order to promote their latest album "Burial Ground", but were also playing special live-sets for the 20th Anniversary of their "Into The Grave" debut album-release at selected festivals/events.

Century Media RecordsCentury Media RecordsFri, 28 Oct 2011 01:45:01 GMTGrave: : Sign new worldwide deal with Century Media Records; Touring North America in August/September; Stay total fucking old school Swedish Death Metal!Following Iced Earth and Borknagar, Century Media Records is proud to welcome back another band under the family's wings: GRAVE. One of the very first Swedish Death Metal bands alongside Nihilist, Morbid and Treblinka, the band initially released their first demo in 1986 under the bandname Corpse, before they switched to GRAVE in 1988 and throughout all these years, they haven't changed their style very much, while other companions left the true Death Metal path along the way, to bigger or less success. But it's GRAVE's longevity and consistency that survived any trend since the late 80's and established them as one of the most important Death Metal bands 'Now and Forever'.
Jens Prueter, Head of A&R Century Media Europe, comments on GRAVE's return: <i>"First time I saw GRAVE was in May 1992 when my friend Robert Kampf (founder of CM) asked me if I wanted to get tattooed by Vinny Daze (R.I.P.) from Demolition Hammer, who was in town with Massacre and Grave. I went to the show with the intention to get my first tattoo but was blown away by Grave's pure Death Metal blast and ended up being way too drunk to still get inked later that night. I never tried to get tattooed again, but I stuck to GRAVE and I'm more than glad to welcome back Ola and his 'new' guys to Century Media."</i>
GRAVE's singer, guitarist and founding member Ola Lindgren adds: <i>"We are very happy and psyched to announce that we have signed back to our old trusty workhorse Century Media Records! After some while of negotiations and a meeting in Dortmund/Germany the week before we played Death Feast Open air, we finally sealed the new deal. The future plan is to have a new GRAVE studio album out in 2012 and we will start putting the pieces together for that this fall, after the headlining tour of North America. We are truly looking forward to working together again with some of our old friends as well as all the new staff in the CM offices worldwide!"</i>
The photo above documents GRAVE's victorious visit at the German office of Century Media, featuring from left to right Century Media staffers Stefan Franke, Philipp Schulte, Jens Prueter and GRAVE members Ronnie Bergerstċl, Ola Lindgren, Tobias Cristiansson and Magnus Martinsson.
GRAVE originally released their debut album "Into The Grave" 20 years ago (August 1991) as the tenth album release of the back then young label Century Media. As founding member Ola Lindgren remembers in the "Swedish Death Metal" book by Daniel Ekeroth:<i>"We sent our third demo to just every label there was. A lot of them kept in touch, such as Earache and Peaceville. But Century Media was working faster than any of them, so we just went with them without thinking too much about it. Century Media invited us down to Germany to record that single ('Tremendous Pain'), and it was only after that we started to discuss a deal. It felt amazing for us to go abroad, so in a way they lured us into their roster! But it turned out well."</i>
While Century Media and GRAVE parted ways after 7 albums with the release of 2006's "As Rapture Comes", the band has launched the two highly acclaimed albums "Dominium VIII" (2008) and "Burial Ground" (2010) ever since. In 2010 the band's 12CD+1DVD box-set "Death Unhallowed" (including all recordings from 1986 - 2006) was released in cooperation with Century Media and the early Corpse / Putrefaction / Grave demos have also most recently been released this year as a deluxe triple vinyl set entitled "Necropsy - The Complete Demo Recordings 1986-1991".
